So now its time for some close up shots of the umbrella. You can see here the center of the umbrellas wire structure.
Here you can see the general reflective pattern of the umbrella with a basic can light attached.
So here is the finished lighting rig. There are 4 major components. The reflective umbrella, the stand, the light and finally the clamp for our lighting rig. This all can be purchased on the cheap also. The can we picked up at our local home improvement store for 5.00. The stand we picked up from ebay as a light duty photography stand for 10.00 and our clamp / mount from the same vendor for 5.00. So for 33.00 we were able to get our self’s a complete lighting rig with a little effort and some price shopping. Not a bad deal by any measure!
